you know whats funny... now that u mention that, i notice that i have better symptoms when i DO see the specs. they say the specs are Tapeworm eggs... but yeah, i am not seeing them right now and i am like dying. kind of weird. perhaps they are something else then, for certain ppl in our kinds of situation. i dont know all your symptoms but who knows. i eat so many vegetables now but i still get cramped and clogged. its so confusing to me. i almost entirely cut out grains and dairy save for brown rice and the occasional organic butter.
